Coach Don Day has coached pro athletes, Olympians, and championship teams — but what makes him truly different is how he thinks.

In this episode, we explore:
• His origin story and the key turning point in his career
• The philosophy behind “The Warthog” and why pain is part of the process
• What he’s learned from coaching at the highest level
• The discipline and habits that drive long-term success
• How failure became one of his greatest teachers
• What success actually means beyond the scoreboard
• One piece of hard-earned advice for anyone chasing greatness

This is more than a highlight reel — it’s a look into the lens that shaped a leader.

What would you choose — endless comfort or true freedom?

In this episode of A New Lens, Wild Will dives into Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a dystopian classic that feels more relevant today than ever. We explore the book’s unsettling vision of a society built on pleasure, control, and conformity — and what it reveals about our own world.

From the cost of giving up individuality to the subtle ways modern life mirrors Huxley’s warnings, this conversation blends literary insight with personal reflection. Whether you’ve read the book or not, you’ll leave thinking differently about the systems we live in… and the choices we make every day.

🎧 Topics include:

• How Huxley predicted parts of modern culture

• Comfort vs. freedom in everyday life

• The hidden price of conformity

• Lessons for personal growth in a distracted age

📚 Brave New World by Aldous Huxley — highly recommended read.

Today I hit record without an outline—just a head-full of memories, bruises, and dusty jerseys. If you’ve ever felt the electricity of a scrum, the hush before a goal-line tackle, or the respect exchanged in the handshake after… this conversation is for you.

What you'll hear:

• The beautiful paradox of a sport that passes backward to move ahead

• Why strangers in rugby kit become family faster than you’d think

• Little moments—mud, laughter, torn tape—that stick with you long after the whistle

There’s no deep dive into stats or set-piece analysis here—just an open mic and an open heart, celebrating a game that shaped my confidence, my friendships, and my idea of community.

🎧 Pop in your earbuds, loosen the shoulders, and walk the touchline with me.

This podcast is evolving — and today, I’m telling you why.

When I started Intern to Expert, it was all about leveling up: discipline, hard work, becoming better. And while that’s still part of the story… something deeper has been calling.

Growth isn’t just about grinding forward — it’s about learning to see differently.
This rebrand reflects that shift.

So starting now, this show is called A New Lens.

In this solo episode, I talk about what led to the change, what stays the same, and what this new season of the podcast will focus on: perspective, presence, and honest conversations about becoming.

If you’ve been here since the beginning — thank you.
And if you’re new… welcome to a space for slowing down, looking again, and seeing with more intention.

Let’s grow through it — together.

In this raw and deeply honest episode, I sit down with Luis — who you may remember from our last conversation — and his wife Kate, for a powerful look at what it really means to grow up while raising a child.

Luis and Kate became parents at 16. The pressure was real, the odds weren’t in their favor, and the world told them they wouldn’t make it. But instead of folding, they chose to build — brick by brick, day by day.

We talk about what it’s like to carry that kind of responsibility at a young age, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the mindset that keeps them grounded. This episode is about more than parenting — it’s about perseverance, love, and showing up when it’s hardest.

Whether you're navigating your own uphill climb, balancing ambition with responsibility, or just looking for a little perspective — this one’s for you.

💭 Topics we cover:

• Becoming parents as teenagers

• How pressure shaped their discipline

• What real support in a relationship looks like

• Growth, sacrifice, and long-term thinking

• Choosing family over ego

• Why perseverance beats perfection
